The last day of classes before Winter Break is Friday, December 18. The first day of classes in 2016 is Monday, January 4.
The Mosaic Meal (Potluck) will again be held on the last day before the break, Friday, December 18. Each student is asked to bring enough food for 5 - 6 people according to the grade’s category (see below). The food is to be brought on the Friday, between 11:30 AM and 11:55 AM. Warming up the food at school is not possible, so please bring it ready to serve. The meal starts at noon. The categories are: Grade 7, Chinese food; Grade 8, Mexican food; Grade 9, Italian food; Grade 10, Ukrainian food; Grade 11, appetizers; Grade 12, desserts; Grade 7-12 Filipino students, Filipino food. Please remember that our school is “nut free.” Food Bank donations have also started to come in. The class which brings in the most food items, eats first at the Mosaic Meal. Last year the school brought in over 5600 items for the Foodbank. So far this season, the students have brought in over 3500 items.
Cougar Basketball is set to kickoff for its second season this January, when our boys will begin hosting rival teams at Gordon F. Kells High School. If you are a passionate fan of the game and want to get involved in the revival of basketball in our town, contact Mr. Broccolo at 861-4265 to learn how you can take part. Help is needed for officiating, coaching, and sponsorship.
